Water from overflowing Yamuna River floods arterial road in Delhi

| @indiablooms | 12 Jul 2023, 08:19 pm

Delhi: Water from the Yamuna River, which has been overflowing due to incessant rain in the Delhi NCR region, reached North Delhi’s Ring Road, causing traffic snarls and waterlogging.

Alerting the commuters, the Delhi Traffic Police handle tweeted, "Traffic is affected on Ring Road between Monastery and ISBT, Kashmere Gate due to overflowing Yamuna River water. Kindly avoid the stretch."

The Outer Ring Road, spanning a total length of 47 km, serves as a significant encircling route around Delhi, connecting various areas within the city.

It plays a vital role as a key connector, linking important locations such as Rohini, IIT Flyover, and the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) at Kashmere Gate.

The ISBT at Kashmere Gate serves as a crucial entry and exit point for both private and public vehicles, making the Outer Ring Road a vital transportation artery in Delhi.

Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal requested the people of Delhi living in low-lying areas near the Yamuna River to evacuate.

"We have to protect lives and properties. People in low-lying areas near the Yamuna River need to be evacuated," Kejriwal said.

On Wednesday, the water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi reached 207.71 meters, surpassing its previous record of 207.49 meters set back in 1978.

The swelling of the river to this new height signifies a significant rise in its water level, which can have implications for the surrounding areas and communities.
